5 Did you know ...

... the life story of Irek Zaripov, Russian Paralympian?

Irek Zaripov became the most titled Russian athlete in Vancouver winning four gold and one silver medal in skiing and biathlon. At the age of 31 in Sochi he came second in cross country skiing, 15 km, sitting. Now he is confident, successful and strong. But there was a moment when he couldn't find himself or his place in life. When he was 17, he lost his legs in an accident. After many operations there were two years of despair and depression. His life was senseless; he was only eating, drinking and sleeping. He gained almost 100 kgs. Now he weighs 65.

Irek's parents helped him to defeat depression. They encouraged him to start doing sports. Zaripov started training in athletics, swimming and skiing. He drove kilometres on a wheelchair with skiers who were training on roller skis. “When I started doing sports, I realised — it's my way. Life is not dull, I had a goal to achieve the maximum heights in sports,” Zaripov remembers. He has achieved it, and not only in sports. “I'm absolutely happy,” he said. “I have a family, my wife, my children, my favourite job.”

His secret of success is courage and determination. He showed to himself and the world that he could do it, he had got enough character to achieve his goals.

The medalists from the Paralympics are strong examples of how a person can change his or her life for the better in spite of all the difficulties and problems.
